Garnish: lavender powdered sugar: Put a 4 or 5 sprigs of lavender flowers in a sealed jar with powdered sugar for a day before using the sugar.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste, but the lavender flavor was nice. I think next time I'll try adding some more butter or oil to the dough.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still delicious. I think next time I'll try using less sugar.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cookies turned out really flat and dense. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste, but the flavor was great. I think next time I'll try chilling the dough for longer before baking.
